(born 22 September , 1971 in Hartford, Connecticut ) is an American author, primarily of Speculative Fiction , and winner of the 2005 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.

Until recently, Bear was living in Las Vegas, Nevada , which served as the setting for the short stories ''One-Eyed Jack and the Suicide King'', ''Follow Me Light'', and ''This Tragic Glass'', but she has now returned to Connecticut.
